Rainy Day
The best thing about rainy days is the soft lighting. The thing I don't like about rainy days is the color temperature.
By just winking a flash into the model's face I am able to keep the soft light and get a better color for skin tones. The other thing is I can open up the eyes a bit and put a little catch light in the eyes as well.
Here are some more examples of using the off camera flash:

The other cool thing about the overcast cloud day is you can use flash and panning so much easier, because the light isn't so bright. When it is sunny in the middle of the day it is almost impossible to get your shutter speed down below 1/250.
In the photo fo the young lady walking I am dragging the shutter to 1/6 at an ISO 100 setting. The flash helps to freeze her and then the rest of the photo is blurred. I like this motion in the photo. Helps communicate she is on the move.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
